Thank you for working to resolve this.

The problem isn't the stting of your fonts or colours; those should be
irrelevant to us and should affect only you (if you send plain text).

Rather, you should compose the message as plain text (and ideally
without any HTML-formatted message at all).

Instead, configure your mail composition program – whatever that is,
online or on your computer – to compose messages in “plain text” format.
